  "summary": "How a fixed neural circuit supports many computations is a central question in neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Population dynamics show how computations are implemented, but not how connectivity constrains them. Here we show that recurrent connectivity contains a mesoscale organization between single units and the population. Grouping units by the aggregate input they receive from other…",
